Our Elemental Nature {Water}

Water. An essential ingredient of life; we know it in many forms - rivers and oceans, rainfall and mist, trickles, streams and tears.
Water is perpetually seeking a goal it will never achieve: to reach the center of the earth. Instead of achievement, water teaches us the importance of the journey. Water is always moving, concerned with nothing other than its own flow and following a path of least resistance.
Each of us was held in water for roughly 9 months; perhaps it is even correct to say this is the first element we know. Water allows for birth; not just of human life, but also of ideas, of creativity, and of vitality.
Water allows us to be reborn again and again.
In working with the elements inside of our meditation practice, we’ve swept ourselves clean and dried ourselves out through wind. We have burned what no longer serves, not to destroy it, but so that we can allow the nutrients buried deep inside to be freed as ash and then be absorbed through the flow of water.
Water teaches us of perseverance, inevitability and surprise.
Join me for today’s episode of The Mindful Minute as we follow this path through a brief dharma talk and 20-minute guided meditation.
Let go into flow.
